Beryllium Carbonates Usage And Synthesis
Description
Beryllium carbonate has the molecular formula of BeCO3 and the molecular weight of 69.0211 g/mol. Beryllium carbonates are less stable than those of magnesium and readily form basic salts.
Uses
The major usage in industry for beryllium carbonate has been as an intermediate in processing beryllium ores to obtain Be metal. This is due to the instability of the various Be carbonates that tend to decompose to the oxide when stored in air over long periods of time.
